The company had been undergoing a massive change for the past week. Many people were going in
and out all the time. Some of the departments had some new people, while there were also people who
left the company with their heads held low in dejection.
Some people were promoted, while some were demoted. The higher-ups of both companies were
fighting for all their worth in order to get the benefits they wanted.
It was not far-fetched to say that the company had become a war zone. Many people were sacrificed,
but some people gained something from this war.
The employees were cleaning their new office rooms, adjusting their seats, and familiarizing
themselves with their surroundings when suddenly, a shrill and angry voice broke the calm of the place.
“What!?”
Everyone was shocked and raised their heads.
The voice came from the director’s office.

many years. I’ve brought so much money to the company, and now you want to fire me!?”
“Calm down.” The director glanced at her and placed a cup of coffee in front of her. “This is a decision
made by the higher-ups. Even if you shout at me, there’s nothing I can do either.”
“Higher-ups?” Karine sneered coldly. “Who are they? I’ll go look for them one by one!”
“Know your own place, Karine.” David frowned. “Do you still think your uncle is one of the
shareholders? Do you think you can still do whatever you wish here?”
“You—”
“Do you really think I don’t know who is behind this matter?” David said sternly, “You’re the one who
colluded with that company to frame Cordelia, right?”
Karine’s expression changed as she stared at David silently.
“I’ve never seen you put in so much effort in your work before, but you’re so enthusiastic when doing
this kind of petty action!” David looked at her. “Let me tell you something. Even if you go look for those
higher-ups, they can’t do anything for you, either. Half of the board of directors has been replaced, and
once the two companies merge, many people will lose their jobs. I’m already lucky that I’m not one of
them!
“As for you, you should follow the instructions you’re given and never show up in the company again!”
“Argh!” Karine shouted out in anger. Overwhelmed by her rage, she smashed everything she saw in
David’s office, causing a mess in his office.
“Are you crazy!?” David shouted back at her. He took a step forward to grab her wrist and threw her to
the side. “Stop acting like a crazy b*tch, Karine!”
Karine smashed onto the wall and regained her senses. She bit her lips tightly and looked blankly at
David, who was fuming with rage. She did not dare to do anything anymore.
David pulled his tie annoyingly and said, “Karine, you should have expected this day from the moment
you acted like a bully in our company.”
“This is all Cordelia’s fault!” Karine gnashed her teeth. “That b*tch!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Stop it!” said David.
Karine was in his office now. If other people learned what she called Cordelia in his office, he might get
into big trouble if other people might think he had some problem with Cordelia.
Apparently, the merging of the two companies was caused by a powerful external force. Otherwise,
these complicated procedures would not have been completed in a very short time. Besides, Josiah
and Fredric had shown up as well.
Who else could make Josiah and Fredric join forces to merge two companies? When the thought
surfaced in David’s head, he felt a chill down his spine.
In the past, he thought that Cordelia had some relationship with Josiah, but it now seemed to him that
Cordelia’s backer was even more powerful than Josiah.
David snapped himself back to reality and looked at Karine. He frowned annoyingly and said, “Mind
your mouth. You might end up like your uncle if you offend the wrong person. You might not even be
able to survive in a small town.
“Now, get the hell out of my office. Don’t make me call security to get you out!”
